Bacillus mucilaginosus is one of the familiar soil bacteria . It is extensively used as a microbial fertilizer to release potassium from soil minerals. These microorganisms are commonly known as potassium solubilizing bacteria or potassium dissolving bacteria. The most important potassium solubilising bacteria are silicate bacteria such as Bacillus mucilaginous
Mode of action :Bacillus mucilaginous de-polymerizes to solubilize insoluble silicate minerals in the oluble/bio-available orthosilicic acid . This soluble formcan be easily taken up by plants along with water, which increases crop yield and improves plant health.
